Motherland series 3 starts next month!

[Dogatetheleftovers]

I’m so looking forward to this. Just seen the trailer and can’t wait!

That made me lol !!
So funny.
Poor Meg though ..

Poor Meg. Nice bit of misdirection with Bill though.

'She's only got 2 bottles of San Pellegrino and a Babybel in the mini fridge'

I'd love to meet Jill, but I guess we won't.

Is Jill the new Maris?

@ShallWeStartTheMeeting

Is Jill the new Maris?

Of if you really want to show your age, the new Mrs Mainwaring? 😜

Love this programme, so funny but can't stand Meg's character. Very OTT.

Not sure if I'm the only one thinking this but how has Anne been pregnant twice with this new baby if in season 1 she says she got in drift wood crafting after her early menopause ?

Amanda not knowing what Ann did for a living. Typical!

The Meg/Bill storyline is going to be very good I think.

Can’t wait for J Lumley. Perfect casting for Lucy Punch’s mum.

I’ve never watched it but am intrigued! Do I need to start from season 1 to ‘get’ it?

That's not the only inconsistency this season - Manus was about 4 in the Halloween episode last series now she's suddenly 11?!

Mind you my dad was apparently what they call a "change baby" - his mum was 50 and there is supposedly a very fleeting window of fertility in menopausal women and that's when she got pregnant with my dad

Amanda not knowing what Ann did for a living. Typical!

And it turns out she's a head honcho at Glaxo Smith-Kline

Oh and all episodes are on iplayer!

Omg I loved the nit shampoo!!! So well observed.

I thought Mannus was a boy! 🤦

I love this. So funny. The characters and one liners keep getting tighter.

If, as a PP said upthread, about being a combo of two characters then I'm Julia and Liz. Amanda is fucking horrible and I know a school mum who is not too dissimilar!

Agree that the actor who plays Kevin was brilliant in the Terror!

Sorry yes I meant he not she 🤣

@Respectivehomelands

Is mannus not a boy ???

Oh phew haha!

Love Meg on the Christmas tree, that was so funny!

loved season 1, less so Season 2 (perhaps because Graham Lineham came off the writing team), and Season 3 looks pretty piss poor. Plus I couldn't understand what they were saying a lot of the time.
One of the things I loved about the 1st season was that the characters had some kind of arc in their character - Julia comes to realise how selfish she is. But she's back to being horrible and unaware.

I'm just watching the 2nd episode and laughing a lot at the conversation between Julia and her DH as he's about to get the snip.

I’m on to the 4th episode, think there’s only 5 this series.

My mistake, the next one wasn’t showing before!

Oh no, I think there really are only 5!
